These profiles are intended to provide local level information on the health, wellbeing, learning, safety and developmental outcomes of young children. The Early Childhood Community Profiles, developed for all Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Victoria, the Aboriginal Early Childhood Community Profiles , developed for LGAs with large Aboriginal communities, and the Catalogue of evidence-based interventions , which provides evidence-based strategies to address the indicators reported in the profiles, are all products of the Victorian Child and Adolescent Monitoring System (VCAMS). VCAMS is a comprehensive, whole of government monitoring system that reports on the safety, health, development, learning and wellbeing of children and young people, aged 0 to 17, in Victoria. It is intended to underpin planning for improvement at a program, local government and statewide level, as well as to inform research and evaluation to generate new evidence on effectiveness on improving outcomes for children. What is included? The 2010 Early childhood community profiles are structured based on the Victorian Child and Adolescent Outcomes Framework (depicted on page 13). The indicators are grouped according to the four dimensions: Child, Families, Community and Society and are ordered by Outcome Areas within each dimension. Each outcome has one or many associated indicators presented. These profiles have been updated and expanded since the last release in 2007. Note: For definitions on the terms used throughout these profiles, please refer to the glossary at Appendix F. Part A: Child and family demographics This section contains child and family demographics for the population within the LGA, sourced from the 2006 Census. This section has been expanded and updated since the previous edition of these profiles. Please note that due to the introduced random error in large Census tables, totals presented in one section of these profiles may differ slightly to those presented in other sections, or some percentages may sum to greater than 100%. See 'introduced random error' in the glossary for more information. Parts B to E: Early Childhood Indicators This section contains the most recent administrative data and survey data for a selection of health and wellbeing early childhood indicators. The indicators included in this section are a subset of the 150 indicators that form VCAMS. Data included in these sections span across 24 outcome areas within VCAMS. A total of 41 indicators of child health, development, learning, safety and wellbeing have been presented in these profiles. Five new indicators have been included in this edition: • Children developmentally vulnerable on the Australian Early Development Index (AEDI) • Children entering schools with basic skills for life and learning • Child behaviour on entering school • Child abuse substantiations • Leading causes of hospitalisations Further to these indicators, additional material from the School Entrant Health Questionnaire (SEHQ) has been included that provides further insight and information related to the VCAMS indicator presented. These include: • Parental Evaluation of Development Status • Concerns about child's hearing and eyesight • Children with reported difficulties with speech and language For more information on the SEHQ, please refer to Appendix D. Notes: • Some data presented have been suppressed due to the small numbers of the population being measured at an LGA level. These data will either be presented as np (not published) or replaced with broader region data in which that LGA is contained. • Over half of the indicators presented in these profiles are sourced from the Victorian Child Health and Wellbeing Survey (VCHWS). Due to sample size, disaggregated data at the LGA level was not considered reliable. The broader region level data are presented for these indicators. See Appendix B for general information about the VCHWS and Appendix C for VCHWS respondent characteristics. • The population base used to derive rate based measures have been revised since the last edition of these profiles. ERP to 2006 are based on final Estimated Resident Population (ERP), 2007 ERP are based on revised estimates and 2008 ERP are based

    QUEENSCLIFFE PLANNING SCHEME 21.01 BOROUGH OF QUEENSCLIFFE KEY ISSUES AND STRATEGIC VISION 11/05/2017 C27 21.01-1 Snapshot of the Borough of Queenscliffe 11/05/2017 C27 The Borough of Queenscliffe is located at the eastern tip of the Bellarine Peninsula, forming the western side of the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. It is the smallest municipality in Victoria and contains a number of islands in the southern part of Swan Bay. These islands are largely undeveloped and provide important habitats for protected flora and fauna. The Borough contains natural environment areas of local and international significance. Swan Bay contains marine and terrestrial environments, foreshore areas and islands protected by international treaties. The Borough’s foreshore and marine environments contribute to significant landscapes in the municipality. The two major towns are Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. These towns are located on a series of dunes and sandy limestone ridges, which fall towards Port Phillip Bay to the east, Bass Strait to the south and Swan Bay to the north. Queenscliff’s character is formed by its historic buildings and formal streetscapes. Vegetation, the coastal environment and informal streets form Point Lonsdale’s unique character. The Narrows, a slender sand dune isthmus, separates Port Phillip Bay from Swan Bay and connects the two towns of very distinctive urban characters. Fellows Road in Point Lonsdale forms the municipal boundary between the Borough and the City of Greater Geelong. Tourism is the Borough’s major economic activity with retail, commercial and service sectors being prominent. Several government and private institutions are major employers, including the Department of Defence, which has facilities at Swan Island and Fort Queenscliff.

  • 2. Marine & Coastal Ecosystems
    2. Marine & Coastal Ecosystems 26 MARINE AND COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS Guide to chapter 2 This chapter focuses on marine and coastal environments in recognition of their tight ecological links and the need for integrated management. The area of focus is waters under the jurisdiction of the Victorian government, which extend 5.5 kilometres seaward from the high water mark, and land within 500 metres of the shoreline. Some issues relevant to the coast are covered in chapters 3 and 4 on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. Section 2.1 describes the high natural, social and economic values of Victoria’s marine and coastal ecosystems and the major habitat types. Section 2.2 outlines the status of biodiversity and protected areas, and the condition of bays, inlets and estuaries. Major threats to marine and coastal nature – particularly climate change, coastal development, invasive species and fishing – are described in section 2.3. Section 2.4 is a summary of a gap analysis of Victoria’s marine protected areas, which identifies bioregional priorities for new and expanded marine national parks and sanctuaries. Similarly, for coastal subregions, section 2.5 summarises an analysis of values, threats and priorities for upgrading the national park and conservation system. Finally, in sections 2.6 and 2.7, policy gaps and high priority reforms are identified in three major areas: improving knowledge, creating a comprehensive, adequate and representative national park and conservation system, and integrating and strengthening management of marine and coastal
